I Become A Prostitute was a beautifully dark anthem, while Nil saw frontman James Graham spiralling around the stage, arms aloft and lost in the powerfully intense emotions his band was firing out. As support slots go, this was as good as it gets.

Most bands would struggle to follow an act like that, but Chvrches aren't most bands.

The three-piece smashed it from the off, blasting out new songs Never Ending Circles and Keep You On My Side, before causing the crowd to erupt with fan favourite We Sink.

Singer Lauren Mayberry made the most of the big stage, bursting from one side to the other, that astonishing voice sounding bigger and purer than ever on tracks like Tether and Playing Dead.

Science/Visions mixed early '90s Belgian techno with contemporary electro, while Gun was a brilliant mix of banging beats and soaring melody.

As usual, Under The Tide was a real highlight, with synth player Martin Doherty taking over on vocals and throwing himself around the stage, but it was on the set closer of The Mother We Share that really had every jaw on the floor.

As arena shows go, you're going to have to go some way to get close to just how good this was. Glasgow, they done you proud.
